2018 JGP Linz Free Dance

[WeakAnkles]

Natalie D'ALLESANDRO / Bruce WADDELL
Country: Canada
Music: "Malaguena" by Ernesto Lecuona; Carmen Suite by Rodion Shchedrich
Choreography by: R. Haguenauer, G. Cournoyer, M.F. Dubreuil
Costumes:Red and black dress with gold trimming for her; Red shirt with gold trim, black pants and gold belt for him

Program Layout:

NT St Seq
Twizzles - they were very close, A Bit Scary
SL Lift
Chor Character St Seq with slide - effectively done
Dance Spin - nice layback position for her
Rotational Lift
Circular Step Sequence
Chor Twizzles - interesting choreography here. Nice.

Well they certainly brought the Drama! I've just seen so many Carmens that this one isn't going to stand out for me. But they certainly have potential. Sorry kids but I'm sick of Carmen.

Into first. Not surprising.

I am up, hopefully the live stream doesn't freeze

 

[Ichatdelune]

Woah, Natalie is really pretty :shocked:

 

[BillNeal]

Fitting music choice I'd say

 

[Ichatdelune]

Interesting music... Great lift though.

 

[pearly]

Oh I am not a fan of this Italian program. They were ahead of the Canadians in the short? Off to look at protocols...

Last season's Ushakova/Nekrasov music

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That didn't do it for me. I didn't like the music or the choreography - lots of awkward-looking positions. They seem to have good speed and ice coverage, but their expression needs work.

I can't remember, did U/N have vocals as well?

Yes and they had an awesome twisting choreo lift at the end as well

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I also found that the top of her dress didn't fit well. I was worried about a wardrobe malfunction a couple of times.

Sara CAMPANINI / Francesco RIVA
Country: Italy
Music: "Be Italian" (from "Nine") performed by Fergie
Choreography by: Matteo Zanni
Costumes:Black dress with purple and white sequins with purple sheer overlay skrit for her; basic black for him

Program Layout:

Rotational Lift
Dance Spin
Twizzles - sloppy
NT St Seq - really nice sync on this
Midline St Seq - I like their st seqs
SL Lift to vocal (nicely choreographed)
Chor Spin
Chor Lift

I actually like their step sequences teh most but that lift to the vocal was nicely done.

I can't remember, did U/N have vocals as well?

Fairly sure they did, but U/N's music was faster at the beginning maybe?

 

[4everchan]

Go LALA!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I like her dress, but he looks like he's copying Scott Moir's costume, and it doesn't really match her dress.

 

[BillNeal]

Lovely opening lift!

 

[flanker]

I can't remember, did U/N have vocals as well?

Yes, as was said already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88RCe1iCaL0

 

[WeakAnkles]

[Ichatdelune]
